 The end of the Cinderella pantomime at Skinningrove, Mr Lacey at the left hand side, Mrs Lacey far right; Doreen Pearson and Edan Rowe are there, we asked for any more of the names. Tom Sayers tells us: ”This is almost certainly the Institute at Skinningrove. The shows opened in the Institute and ran all week. They then went, “on tour” to Loftus; in a wooden building up Micklow Lane, and in The Black Bullit up Kilton Lane. The Miners Institute is long gone. It stood behind the War Memorial and the OAP bungalows.” This also explains Rita Beckham believing that St Helen’s church hall was involved, possibly part of the ”tour aspect” of the pantomime. Celia Kentfield tells us: ”The panto was Cinderella and was in the Miners Institute at Skinningrove. It was put on by the Methodist Chapel Skinningrove. The panto ran all week, bus trips came from Staithes and other surrounding villages. Full house every night – admission by ticket only.

It would be more precise to describe the image as Easington Schools; being a classic Poor Law School. Boys one side and girls the other; each with a separate entrance. Ray Brown told us: “This has come from Joe Fenby, he lived in the now converted School for many years and had then just celebrated his 90th birthday; Ray was told that the Girl in the picture was Joe’s mother but he could not say for certain.” Image courtesy of Raymond Brown.  Staff and pupils of Rosecroft School worked together to present the pantomime ’Dick Whittington’ in December, 1978.

Were these lads and lasses wishing ’Bon Voyage’ to Mr. Fitzwarren’s ship or welcoming it back from its successful voyage? Do you recognise any of them? Image courtesy of Celia Parrish.  Mr. Ingleby was one of the sailors on the ship that sailed overseas with Dick’s cat on board. He is pictured here in the Sultan’s court, now identified as Keith Wheatman (the Sultan). Keith Wheatman confirms with: “Indeed that is me looking quite silly! The beginning and end of my acting career. Thanks for giving my daughter a good laugh.” Image courtesy of Celia Parrish, thanks to Andrew Downs and Keith Wheatman for the updates.  It all ended happily ever after and Dick and Alice were joined on stage by the rest of the cast for the grand finale. Image and information courtesy of Celia Parrish.  Mr. Main sent us this portrait of his grandmother and others, following a recent visit to Loftus and Boulby. Mary Ann was the eldest daughter of John and Isabella Thurlow of Boulby Barns Farm. She was born in 1875, he thinks that this portrait was probably taken for her 21st birthday while she was working at Studley Royal, near Ripon, in 1896. Image courtesy of Gordon Main. |
